27 year old male with osteoporosis update

Hi everyone. I posted in here like a month ago because my world was ending because I got an osteoporosis diagnosis. If you saw it and remember me then here’s the update, if you didn’t then nice to meet you.

Timeline:

October 2025: wife leaned on me on the couch, broke a rib. X-ray to be sure at the urgent care, yep it was broken, don’t do anything crazy for 4-6 weeks.

May 2026: started doing jiu jitsu because I need to get into shape. I did jiu jitsu for all of high school, yes I’m starting up again, but I’m not making the kind of mistakes beginners make to hurt themselves. I get crushed by someone and break another rib, on the other side. Xrayed at the urgent care. Yep it’s broken, don’t do anything crazy for 4-6 weeks. I want to keep training, my coach cares about me and doesn’t let me do actual rolling. I’m paired with a physically therapist who knows that I’m injured. As safe as can be. Couple weeks go by, i catch myself wrong and break my pinky toe. Now the wheels are turning that I’m breaking a lot of things and nobody else at the place is, urgent care is going to take my money and not give me real fixes, so I schedule a visit with an orthopedic. Xray it, tell me it’s broken, hear me tell them I’m breaking stuff constantly, orders dexa scan + bloodwork, tells me he’s a sports doctor so he’s not going to tell me to stop my sport. Get the bones scanned, same day I go back to train and break another rib. From that day I’ve been retired. Ortho calls me tells me I have osteoporosis and talk to pcp. Also I’m barely (.1) below normal for vitamin d so I’m on a script for that. Then I come to this subreddit and cry about how I’m never going to do jiu jitsu again and a bunch of you gave me suggestions and softly told me to get over it.

So here we are. I scheduled appointments with a GI, PCP, and endocrinologist. GI said „hm that’s weird, let’s do bloodwork and then we can see what’s going on.“ bloodwork for all that stuff comes back. Normal. No celiac. Just to be double sure, had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. No celiac, no crohns, no colon cancer, no stomach infection, no colitis. From a GI perspective I am completely clear.

PCP says „great job getting these things scheduled without me“ gets me a referral to see an endocrinologist faster. Somebody canceled the day that I called so I was instantly able to go in instead of waiting until late September. More bloodwork, ask me diagnosing questions. Everything came back normal. This past Wednesday I was ordered a gamut of like 25 xrays to get my entire body. They nuked me. Got that done and then same day went to endocrinologist to talk about my blood results (which again, were normal). They’re telling me they’ve been talking about my case all weekend, have some ideas for exotic things it could be, put me in for more bloodwork (today) and some genetic stuff.

What it isn’t: any of that GI stuff I mentioned earlier, thyroid, parathyroid, low testosterone, high cortisol, low calcium, low vitamin d, rheumatoid arthritis

I’m supposed to be expecting a call to schedule a reclast infusion. As I was walking out I said „so you guys have no idea what’s wrong with me“ and she confirmed „nope no idea“. If I keep scoring normals they’ll throw me at a rheumatologist.

Novel finished. TLDR: I have osteoporosis and nobody knows why
